What is this

Artifacts that breathe

ORPHANS is a generative on-chain art project built on the ERC20 object model. Every whole token corresponds to a unique procedural pixel art creature — a 24×24 grid of life rendered entirely as on-chain SVG.

A Uniswap v4 hook turns every swap into a mutation event. The pool's corruption state updates with each trade, and every live artifact's appearance shifts in response. No two moments look the same.

Wrap your artifact as an ERC721 NFT to freeze its current state forever. Burn additional tokens to unlock higher tiers — sanitized bodies, glowing auras, animated renders.

Upgrade Tiers

Tier 1x

1× — Frozen

Wrap 1 $ORPHAN to freeze the current mutation state. Your art stops changing.

Tier 5x

Burn 4 $ORPHAN to remove all corruption artifacts. Pixel-perfect clean body.

Tier 10x

How it works

The Protocol

01

Swap

Every ETH/ORPHAN swap through Uniswap v4 passes settlement data to the hook contract.

→
02

Mutate

The hook folds pool state, direction, deltas, tick movement, and block height into the corruption state.

→
03

Render

Live artifacts read the latest snapshot. Wrapped NFTs store the frozen state at wrap time.
